Ricardo III (1955)
En la segunda mitad del siglo XV, en Inglaterra, estalla una guerra civil: la Guerra de las Dos Rosas (1455-1485) entre la Casa de Lancaster (rosa roja) y la de York (rosa blanca), que será el último enfrentamiento entre el absolutismo real y la nobleza La victoria de Mortimer Cross desplazó del trono a los Lancaster y Eduardo IV de York, fue proclamado rey. A su victoria contribuyeron sus hermanos Ricardo de Gloucester y Jorge Clarence. La siniestra figura de Ricardo -deforme, siempre a la sombra y al acecho- protagoniza una de las páginas más negras de la historia de Inglaterra. Célebre adaptación de la obra de Shakespeare.
